WINDOW SHADE AND CURTAIN HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.-

Patented April 21, 1908.

Application filed June 4, 1 907, Serial No. 377,218.

Beit knownthat I, EMILY G. L. GREGsoN, citizen of the United States, residing at Fort Worth, in the county of Tarrant and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window Shade and Curtain Hangers, of which the following is a specification. l

The. present invention relates, to certain new and useful improvements 1n shade brackets, and resides rincipally in the pro# vision of al bracket W ich is adapted to be formed from a'single stri Vvof material and which embodies novel means for supporting the' shade'roller and also for supporting a curtain pole.

The object of theinvention is to design a simple and inex ensive'bracket which can be readily ap lie to the window frame and which is peculiarly designed so as tghold the curtain pole in such a ositiontliat ,the window draperysuspende thereon'cannot interfere with the operation of the shade. f

For a fulldescription of the invention-and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction and v the -means for effecting the result, reference is to be hadv to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which: 30

Figure 1 is a erspective View showing the application of t e invention. Fi 2 is an venlarged perspective view of one o the shade brackets.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the followin vdescription and indicated in all the views o the drawings by the same reference characters.

Each set of the shade lbrackets comprises aright and a left designed yto be mounted upon opposite sides of a window frame, one of the brackets being lprovided with an elongated socket for receivlng the attened stud at one end of the shade roller While the opposite bracket'is formed with a bearing for receiving the round stud at the opposite end of the shade roller.` Each of the brackets is formed froma singlestrip of Wire or other suitable material and comprises a loop 1 which may bei'of any desired sha e, bein shown as approximatelyrectangu ar in t e resent iny stance, the upper side ofeacho the loops Iried by the shade roller.

-the two ends of the shade roller.

mayalsobe directed to the fact that the forl being crimped at 2 to receive thestuds car'- It will be observed that one of these crirn ed ortions 2 has the upper portion thereo twisted as indicated at 3 to form a bearing for the round stud of the shade roller. After forming the loop 1, one end of the wire is extended rearwardly at 4 and preferably providedwith screw threads for engagement with the window frame,

while the opposite end of the wire is extended upwardly at 5 Aand forwardly at 6.

A lateral arm 7 is carried by the forwardly v extending portion 6, the extremity of the lateral arm' being bent forwardly and curved at'Sto enga e a curtain ole. The lateral arms 7 carrie by the two rackets 4upon 0pposite sides of the window frame extend outwardly in-opposite directions whereby the curtain pole is supported atipoints beyond Attention war `ly extending portion 6 acts to hold the curtain pole spaced from the shade ,rggller so that the drapery suspended upon thegormer does not interfere wlth the free operation' of the latter.

It will bereadily ap arent from an ins ection of the drawings t at the shade brac ets as above -described can be readily formed from .a single length, of wire or similar material and t atV owing to this fact they can be -manufactured at a comparatively small cost.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is: l

' 1. A shade bracket formed of a single strip of materialand comprising alooped. portion having a side thereof crimped to form; a socket, one end of the strip projecting laterally and constituting a fastening means while the 30pposite en d 1s extended upwardly and carries means for sup orting a curtain pole.

2. A shade firacketfformedof a single strip of material and comprising a`looped portion having a side thereof crimped to form a socket,

one end of thestripprojecting laterally and constituting a fastenin means while the opposite end 1s formed with a laterally project' ing arm carrying means for supporting a cur tam pole.

3. A shade bracket formed of a single strip o fllnaterial and comprising a looped portion Y having a side thereof crimped to forni asocket, l 1n testimony whereof' I affix' my signature one end of the stripf projecting from tlhe loop in presence of two witnesses.
